LOCO TV UK 2013.
I like the design of the cabin. It looks comfortable, elegant and robust.
I find it incredible that it is preserved in such good condition despite the years. I believe that the love, care and good maintenance and dedication of the drivers and mechanics and having good spare parts has done its job.
Best regards from Chile.
The Deltic is my favourite Diesel Electric of all time, loved them since my early teens, modern trains will just never have the same presence as these beautiful machines.
Trains are beautiful in every corner of the earth!!!!!
MikeVonDoom the earth is round
Yes, If Only British People Could Afford to Use Them Without Robbing a Bank First.
Drove them all as a second man at KX in 70s .Noisy smelly oily beasts .Loved them all
love the style, and love the engine.
In my opinion you gents have the BEST job ever !!!!
love the sighn in the cab that said 100 mph max,,,lol,,,nice video
nice bloke is martin,preserved railways need more like him.
Yep, very nice guy.
Great video my friend,I love the sound when it went through that first tunnel !
Outstanding cab ride many thanks
Driving 55006 on train sim atm does 110 max with 4 carriages, 101 mph with 8 carriages . Cool Loco.
Outstanding video
This locomotive is now on display at the National Railway Museum located at Shildon in the North East. Although not a railway enthusiast I visited yesterday & whilst the English Electric Deltic was my favourite the other engines on display were superbly restored & breathtaking in their majesty. Surprisingly both car parking & entrance is free but voluntary donations are welcome. I highly recommend a visit.
Cool video! GSMR fitted then! great to hear vacuum brake again, horns need a clean out LOL and never knew forward vision was so restricted! was at the ELR a while back
great footage, i did 9 at Nene Valley in 2009 unfortunately before my RUclips days. Liked, faved & subbed. Tony.
Thank you for posting
Really enjoyable cab ride, made better by the snowy landscape for some reason! Jason.
She was on one engine when I did my footplate experience but still a pleasure to drive.
Martin walker is the best gave me a free cab ride to the diesel sheds on the SVR
Shame he's sold his deltics now
Amazed how quiet the cab is...
Untill you get a secondman who doesn't shut up!
A nice ride. I know Ramsbottom station well.
Good video, thanks for sharing..
Very good, thanks
Great stuff.
Smashing this! Thanks for sharing.
Cool engine Cool job
I’d love to learn how to drive one of these
Big old lumps these locos, you can sense they're power house's.
They appear high up inside the cab, and definitely show presence!.
Are these relics stood down now?.
Yes they were withdrawn from service in 1982.
Talk about a caged lion!
man, it's quieter than my panda!great
...and a lot more powerful.
Tell me dont they clean these wonderfull locos? what happened to the attachment between railwayman and his machine?
Good vid thanks
That Horn, LOL
Here's Johnny does sound like a dam fart
honk
Only its its on a rail tour and it depends if its going through crewe or not
DOSE THE DELTIC EVER COME TO CREWE IF SO WHEN!!
What's the operating RPM on these engines? How are they scavenged?
English Electric built the Lightning!
They got at least 3 things right if you count the 37's too
and fridges
The English Electric Company That Made These,
Is That the Same English Electric Company That Made the Lightning Plane ?
Yes. They made all kinds of things.
Why is he doing that knocking thing with what I presume is the throttle? Someone must know
Gentle adjustment?
Most diesel locos have 8 notches on the throttle so they can all power together when in multi-unit. The Deltic - from what I can see in your video - just seems to have one gradual throttle. How does that work in multi? And are those horns just there to make lineside viewers laugh?
Not so with older English ones; the' English Electric' manufactured classes had electro pneumatic control, (class 37, 40,55) which was almost infinitely variable between off and full power. It's only the American imports now, that have 8 notches, as they are all required (by FRA?) to be compatible across operators. The Deltic production class conformed to B.R. 'Blue star' system, and all blue star classes were compatible irrespective of builder.(In theory at least). There were other operating system standards too but not widespread. Red diamond being the last UK type in use, which was all electronic, AFAIK.
As for the horns, I promise from the outside they would make you look up. Also, they may have been modified to comply with noise abatement regs. Crazy!
Thanks.
Deltics never ran multiple. As express locos they had ample power for their work.
I wish it had closed captioning. The voices are muddy and unclear.
They weren't talking about the train anyway, just rambling on about other stuff!
why does the warning decal say 100mph max instead of kph?
Because it's the UK my friend.
Awesome machine with a horrible horrible visual angle! But still looks soooo hot!
Big nose stops driver suffering optical disturbance from sleeper flash.
What exactly is behind that door in the compartment forward of the cab?
***** Coal fire? I must say thats a very interesting feature for a DIESEL powered loco. I was hoping for a reply from someone who actually knows their stuff with this.
***** Well I looked up the stats for the Class 55 and there's no mention anywhere of a coal fire backup system, if there were any form of auxiliary power system it would be listed/mentioned somewhere. The only steam usage on the class 55 was a steam heater system (later replaced with electric systems) and chances are if it were a fire heated boiler it would more than likely be an oil burner, not coal, given that oil burners are more efficient and more compact. Whoever told you that all diesels have a coal fire backup are talking out of their arse given that modern diesels certainly don't have anything like that and steam/diesel hybrid locos were only briefly experimented with in the '20s and were abandoned as it was completely impractical. There really isn't much point having a backup power system on locos anyway when the usual thing to do in the event of a breakdown is to call up another loco, or run the train with more than one loco just incase of a breakdown happening, as is standard practice with nuclear flask trains in the UK.
To be honest I'm kinda regreting ever asking the question, I never thought it would pan out like this.
***** Ye I just couldn't be bothered even replying, to the last statement. I did wonder if those compartments had something to do with cooling as I had noticed vents in the sides before in pictures. I'm just unfortunate enough to be someone with an interest in trains yet live where there are no railways, only trains I have seen up close is the odd Class 158 DMU and the only train i've been on was the Glasgow tube, bit of a pain in the arse when you have an interest in them.
***** Well to be honest I just really like just about anything with an engine. When it comes to trains, it's mainly freight that interests me. The closest their is to railways here abouts is the odd remnant of old narrow-gauge track left over from the naval base that was here during the war, decommisioned shortly afterwards, long before my day.
+The Turbine try some preserved railways and you will get what you want
How do you get permission to do that I want to do it
you have to get a cab pass
Kristian Messenger how do you get a cab pass
not a clue mate.
Epic engine...lame horn! Lol
i think max speed (100 mph) is too much.
+Önder Sarıoğlu That was the maximum allowable speed for this particular
locomotive (class 55) and i do believe that it was in service as a high
speed locomotive on British railway's on the East Coast Main line
between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh.
Yazoo milkshake
Is that what that was. I thought it was the C & O railroad logo, you know, "C & O for Progress".
Horn sounds like a dam fart.

Great Video but I just can't help saying the compared to US train horns, yours sound really stupid. You don't give much warring if at all and the two tone just drives me nuts. As a country, you should really change that. It's awful. Sorry, but I just can't help it.
Obsolete train dude, sorted now. Appreciate your concern..
To be honest though, all american locomotives look the same with the same horn. I personally think american locomotives have no character.
Ben Kirkbride totally agree same with some of there locomotives they are also too big and machinery. our locos her in UK have a personality a story to tell about them like the A4s The Castles The Class 50s The Deltics We have a range of different locomotives all with different whistles and horns nothing like The U.S and Steve if u also read this in U.S you need those powerful horns we do not as much. I hate one thing in the U.S Most of your passenger trains are AMTRAK and others but here in the uk we have more then 5 rail company's First,Virgin Freightliner,DB,EWS,DRS and more and tbh i am glad we have locomotives like we do :) P.S I am not starting a war nor an argument just pointing out a few facts so no need for a silly reply
No bad reply. I understand Your comments. Do note that most all Amtrak horns are the same. You can tell by the sound it's a Amtrak. I like that for sure.
